Pregnant after c section

I had a section 4 years ago due to not dilating quick enough. Im now pregnant again. How does the process work with scans, Bloods ect? Will it just be standard like a normal pregnancy or will i need extra appointments due to my previous scar & stretching of the muscles/skin?

Thanks for your reply :) Gosh 7! Very brave lady. I Would love VBAC this time but the whole 'what if' Freaks me out. Do not fancy ending up with a section again, But hey ho its such an amazing outcome at the end :D.Think i just over worry things. The issue about the scar could repture during VBAC makes me panic!! Guess i need to think positive. Good luck with baby #7 in October,Hope everything goes perfectly xx

There shouldn't be much of a difference until you have reached multiple cesarean deliveries such as myself. I am expecting my 7th cesarean delivery the 17th of October. O have seen a specialist in this pregnancy and in my last pregnancy. Although no current compilations and no major issues in the past, my doctors are just being safe. I also do not dilate with time therefore I had to have first child via C-section. I tried delivering VBAC after my first pregnancy and even my third. I unfortunately failed, I just do not dilate. :( But it's a good idea to talk to your doctor about trying to possibly deliver vaginally this time. There is a big possibility you may be able to do so!!! Honestly though, all my blood tests, exams etc are exactly the same with each pregnancy. Congratulations!
